would. and il they will club together and
furnish us with paper and ink we will agree
to give them the paper for that price, cash

The newspapers throughout the State are
earnestly endeavoring, by some means 10
make Nevada the garden spot OF the eartn.
This is commenda able energy and we are glad
that the facts are being shown that our State
can become one Of the hrst in agriculture II
the right means are only taken. 1t has been
conceded that irrigation, immigration and
capital is what is necessary for US to have to
all become prosperous. Now, is there any
thing else? We think there is, and this
some thing is the regulation Of taxation. This
may be hard matter to get at, but our idea
is that gbtaxation with low rate is much
pfeferablyf.o low taxation and a high rate.
It makf yery little difference to a property
owne no values his possessions at $1,000,
v r he is assessed at 81, 900 and the rate
90 per hundred, or whether he is as.
.sed the full value, $4,000 at 81 90 per
hundred. The return Of revenue is also the
same to the county. Then why would 1t not
be good plan to adopt' Would not this al.
SO be an inducement to people to come to our
State. Immigrants from the East, looking
for homes would look at our assessment rolls
and say: "liere seems to be State where
property is worth something and where the
taxes are low. This must be a good place
to live" and they would camp. Now it is
the opposite. They say land in Nevada
seems to be worth very little, and taxes are
high and therefore conclude to push further
West. We believe that il every county in
the State would adopt this plan that it would
be Of great benefit. 1t would certainly look
much better TO the outside world.

Wouldn't Sell His Drunk so
Cheap.

Standing in the lobby of a hotel in
Bangor not long ago got into CONVEX
sat on with a gentleman who was re-
presenting a medical apparatus with a
long Greek name. 1t is not my inten-
ton to give the arrangement for vapor
baths puff. but do want to describe
n rather funny incident that followed
our conversation. My companion had
just been describing to me how his pro-
cess would sober off in half an hour a
man ON the verge OF delirium tremens,
aud how many men never thought OF
going home 10 their families without
having recourse 10 his machine. While
We were talking a man, evidently very
much under the influence Of too potent
bations, came in, and. leaning over
the counter began a rather thick con-
versaton with the clerk. We saunter-
ed over. and soon were on the best OF
terms with the devotce of Bacchus.
After while the man said he wished
he could taper off and 90 home. Here
was an opportunity, and the machine
above referred to was explained to him.
Five minutes later he had staggered UP
stairs, and stood ready 10 be cured
His coat was already oil, when drunk
en- idea seized him. SHAY, what el

repays this confidence by saying that II
it doesn't rain any more We will have
| n long dry time. The man then goes
away inflated with the idea that he has
a pointer from Mr. Gould which will
materially affect values. A great
many men are playing croquet at the
poor-house this summer who owe their
prosperity to tips given them by Mr..
Gould.
As fair sample of the way a story
about great man grows and becomes
distorted at the same time, one incl
dent will be sufficient. Some years
ago, it is sad, Mr.. Gould bought gen.
era admission ticket to hear Sarah
Bernhardt as Camille. Several gentle
men who were sitting near where he
stood asked him why he did not take
seat Instead of answering directly
that he could not get one he replied
shat ne did not care for a seat, as he
wanted to be near the door when the
building fell. Shortly after this he had
more seats than he could use. l give
this story simply to illustrate how such
thing may be distorted. for upon in
vestigation it was found to have occur
red at Patti concert and not at a
Bernhardt exhibition at all.
Mr.. Gould's career, with its attend
ant success, should teach us two things,
at least. One is that it always pays to
do kind act for great deal of his
large fortune has been amassed by
assisting men like Mr.. Field, when
they were in a tight place, and tax ng
the I depressed stock off their hands
while in q shrunken condition, He be-
lieves also that the merciful man is
mercitui to his stock.
He says he owes much Of his success
in life to economy and neuralgia. He
also loves to relieve distress on Wall
street, and is SO passionately fond of
this as he grows older that he has been
known to distress other stock men just
for the pleasant thrill it gave him to
relieve them.
Jay Gould is also living illustration
OF what young man may do with
nothing but his bare hands in America.
John L. Sullivan and Gould are both
that way. Mr.. Gould and Col. Sulli-
van could 90 into Siberia tomorrow
little as they are known there-and
with small Gordon press, quire of
bond paper and pair of three penny
weight gloves they would soon own
Siberia. with right of way across the
rest of Europe and first mortgage on
the Russian throne. As fast as Col.
Sullivan knocked out a dynasty Jay
could come in and administer on the es-
tate. This would be a powerful COM
bination. 1t would afford us an oppor-
tunity also to get some of those Rus
an hay-fever names and chilblains by
red message. Mr.. Gould would get
good deal of money out of the transac-
ton and Sullivan would get ozOne.--

Labor and the Golden Rule.

A writer in The open Court, q schol-
arly publication, relates an experience
of his early life which carries an in
structive lesson. Although now pos
sesscd of a competency. in his early
years he trundled a wheelbarrow in
the construction of railroads. and deem
ed himself a skilled workman then, as
he was,-for the men were few who
could accurately and jauntily roll and
dump their barrows. One day an aged
fellow-worker said to him: .'Yez could
wheel on horses rib" and the trib-
ute was a diploma. Soon afterward
there came along greenhorn, stall
wart but awkward. He made a mess
of the job, but only one man volunteer
ed to instruct him in the knack of walk
ing the plank. For his kindness in
doing so Jenny Hill was upbraided by
his confreres. who looked on the new
arrival as a plug" and ''scab."
Their taunts had little effect on Jenny,
but one day he took aside the writer of
the narrative which we condensc and
showed him a little watch-charm, on
which were engraved two torches, the
one lighting the other, with tbs motto
underneath: my light is none the
less for lighting my neighbor." What
lesson that was in political economy
and the humanities! Ii is gratifying to
be informed that this phil sophie and
kindly barrow-trundler afterward be-
came presi lent of great railroad

ting at dinner alone. The table had
been some time waiting for the host.

very singular for the tribes on our from
tier" made most unexpected excursions.
But when he did get perched on the
cover of the bowl, the little fellow rose
upon his hind legs, with his hands be-
fore him, and began to entertain me
with the funniest little mouse song you
can imagine. "Chit-chit cheep- cheep-
chit" he whistled, and kept it up be-
fore me in a most unembarraSsed and
self-possessed little way. l must have
been trying audience, for | leaned
back in my chair and roared with laugh

err | gradually became aware of a
shadow, a something strange gliding
out from behind a dish towards the
mouse. In another minute beady
snakes eye glittered in the lamplight
My hand stole softly for the carving
knife. The shake reared its head level
with the mouse, aud the poor little fell
: lows song, which had never ceased,
became piercingly shrill, though he sat
rigidly erect and motionless. The head
of the snake drew back little to strike.
Out flashed the carving-knife. The
spell was broken instantly, for the
mouse dropped and scampered.
The snake was wounded. for there
were spots of blood ON the table cloth,
and it was writing about among the
d shes and plates. l could not make a
bold stroke at any part of 1t for fear OF
breaking the crockery. and whenever

A Railway Ride.

While ride, while ] ride,
While past field and VILLAGE glIAo,
Streaming goes my hearts desire
Like a back blown flame Of fire,
Longing ever to abide
Far behind me while ride.

Flame not hurting though it burns,
Flame that hOm.ward still retur ms,
Growing ever, eager, keen,
To thee rushing, o my Queeni
Dost thou know, dost thou know,
What it is that warns thee so,
Bids thee be Of happy cheer,
Lifts thee into heavenly sphere,
Makes thee every fear forego
In my absenc2--dOst thou knowf

Till Its master doth return,
Nor shall then its glowings cease

Fed from an exhaustless urn
By good angels 1t shall burn.

On the wheels whose rhythmic beat
Sets itself to music sweet,
